i just recently experienced clutch issues and being told my slave has failed, the pressure comes back periodically, doesn't really hold long and the pedal engages all the way at the floor, but did notice that all my dot3 leaks out of the car
I actually had no fluid loss at all. I even checked inside of the bell housing through the inspection port and it was completely dry in there as well. I was however apparently sucking in a bunch of air through the crappy bleeder port which would cause me to lose most of the pedal feel until it was eventually basically undriveable.

Stage 3 will be perfect for most. If you visit the track weekly, then go for the 4.

I had a KY3, resurfaced flywheel. It only chattered when I didn't give it enough gas off a start, and sometimes I would get the 1st gear squeal. And my pedal engament was at the very tip top, made daily driving it a challenge. I put 13k+ miles on it before I sold it and as far as I know it's still holding, and I NLS'd religiously.

There are some that say you don't have to, but I would strongly suggest removing it. It just frees up a ton of room down there and honestly makes things alot easier. You may want to invest in an engine support bar though if you don't already have one. Otherwise the entire drivetrain has nothing to support it once you pull the subframe.

ehh sort of. It's a metal bar specifially designed to support the engine or drivetrain from above the engine bay. The biggest benefits to using a support bar over something like jackstands or a piece of wood under the engine is:

1) it gives you MUCH more room to work under the car or truck
2) there is no chance of accidentally knocking the stand out from under the engine
3) there is no chance of damaging the oil pan, or engine/engine componants being supported.

I've seen guys in the past use stacked 2x4's as a support bar, but that's just way too ghetto for my taste to be honest, and is just a knucklehead move in my book.. lol

Here's the bar that I have personally.. 1000 Lb. Capacity Engine Support Bar. It's by no means the absolute best bar out there, but the price is amazing and it has worked great for me the times I have needed it.
